Authors you want to read more from

Mindy McGinnis

I very recently read 'The Female of the Species' by Mindy McGinnis and I loved it. I couldn't believe I'd never read anything by her before. I've heard good things about 'A Madness So Discreet' so I'm particularly excited to pick that one up!

Jennifer NivenI'd heard amazing things about Jennifer Niven's books and I finally decided to pick up 'Holding up the universe'. I LOVED IT. I just knew I had to read her other more popular book 'All the bright places' and for some strange reason I still haven't got around to it yet, but I will. Very soon.Sara BarnardSo I'd heard about Sara Barnards book 'Beautiful broken things' for a while but when 'A Quiet Kind of Thunder' was released I just had to read it. I related with it on such a personal level that it is easily one of my favourite contemporary's I've ever read. I have yet to read more from Sara Barnard but I have no doubt it will be amazing!Kendare BlakeSo I read Anna dressed in blood a long time ago and I never got around to the sequel. I have to admit I've forgotten what happened in the book so it'll have to be a re-read to finish the duology. But I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads so Kendare Blake must have done something right. Not to mention her book 'Three dark crowns' has been raved about so much. I'm dying to read it!

Kasie WestI read my first Kasie West book 'The Fill in Boyfriend' recently. I'd heard so many amazing things about Kasie Wests books. People just seem to love them! I have to admit I was disappointed with the fill in boyfriend, I just didn't love it. However, I'm still so excited to read more of her books! They all give off the cutest contemporary vibes!

So apparently I favour female authors...I guess we learn something new everyday! Anyway, are any of these authors your fave? Or maybe you're not a fan of their books? Let me know in the comments!

I love Kasie West!! I still have few of her older ones to get to but have loved all the ones I have read. I read and loved AtBP from Jennifer Niven but have to get to Holding Up the Universe. Lovely list!!

I still haven't gotten a chance to read Kasie West. I have The Fill-In Boyfriend waiting for me on my Kindle but haven't checked it out yet. I've heard mixed reviews on that one. The one I really want to read of hers is "P.S. I Like You". Everyone seems to love that one.

Yeah the fill in boyfriend was okay, it wasn't terrible, but it just let me down slightly. Is P.S I like you the one set in a library? I've heard a lot about that one but I can't remember what it's called...

I need to read the other West books I haven't read. I really love P.S I Love You and heard some amazing things about her other titles. Now I must go and find The Female of the Species, everyone talks about it

I really love Jennifer Niven's books. I also just finished reading The Female of the Species - writing my review for it now actually - and thought that was fabulous too. I can't wait to read more from both of these authors.

Me too! I just loved that book and I'm not even sure why...something about it just clicked with me. I've heard a madness so discreet is amazing as well, I think that'll be the book of hers I pick up next!

I definitely need to give Mindy McGinnis a go, and I have A Quiet Kind of Thunder and Three Dark Crowns so hopefully I'll like them! I need to read more from Marissa Meyer because I love The Lunar Chronicles. Just got to get my hands on Heartless!

I was so surprised by the female of the species because I hadn't read anything by her, I just wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did! A quiet kind of thunder is one of my favourite reads from this year, i loved it so much. I actually still haven't read anything by Marissa Meyer, the lunar chronicles are so highly recommended to me but I just haven't picked them up yet...

I would say I favor female authors too, but not on purpose! I cannot wait to read The Female of the Species. From all the rave, it seems like it is really impactful. Great list Kirsty! I'll have to check out A Quiet Kind of Thunder. :)

No of course! Never on purpose but they just seem to connect with me more. The female of the species was surprisingly good, I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did at all. A quiet kind of thunder is one of my favourite reads this year so far so I hope you like it!

Besides The Female of the Species I've only read A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis, but it was SO AMAZING that I need everything by her. She's such a talented author, and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Omg, a madness so discrete is definately going to be my next Mindy McGinnis read, I've heard amazing things about it. I'm not 100% sure what's it's about but sometimes I love to go into a book like that!
